Trials of Implements at Carlisle.

R. Hornsbij and Sons (Limited), Grantham, showed in article 
3305 (Fig. 9) an improved Turn-wrest Plough, well designed and 
made, and which would doubtless do excellent work, and quickly, 
but it would not stand the treatment farmers very often give their 
ploughs, viz., leaving them under a hedge until again wanted. 
The plough-bodies are hung under the beam on turned pins, 
so that when set either way for work, the one in use lies against 
the side of the beam, and is held in its place by a fork, which 
wedges it and makes it practically solid with the beam. By 
pulling back a lever the bodies are released, they automatically 
change places, and the plough is ready for work the opposite 
way. The fore-end of the beam is arranged so that the depth 
required to be ploughed can be set by simply adjusting two

stop-plates, thus equalising the depth for both ways ; the draught 
is then self-acting, as well as the draught-bar, which thereby 
pulls in the line required by the plough at work. 
-• Messrs. Burrell and Sons, Thetford, exhibited, amongst other 
things, Everett's Patent Automatic Travelling Anchor, which 
can move either backwards or forwards as desired. On the 
anchor is a horizontal drum, on which are about 80 j'ards of 
wire rope, the end of which is made fast to an anchor, and is 
payed out as the travelling anchor advances. By an arrange- 
ment of gearing the motion is reversed and the rope hauled in, 
the anchor consequently " backing " as far as requisite. This 
was shown at work in the trial-field, and was apparently 
capable of doing all that its makers claimed for it. 
Messrs. Fisken and Co., Leeds, had at work in the trial-field 
an Improved Set of Tackle, driven as usual by a quick-speed 
manilla rope, and consisting of one three-furrow balance-plough 
and windlass combined, two self-moving anchors, and porters 
and ropes for a furrow 300 yards long. The price reduced to 
200/. The improvements mainly consist in not carrying the
